Day 29 - Arrive in Bluff and back home to Auckland

15 February 2014

Our ship was piloted into Bluff at 2am where we docked and woke to our last breakfast on the ship before NZ biosecurity and passport control came on board to do the formalities. It seems like a strange process filling out the customs forms asking what country you have spent most time away – writing Antarctica seems weird so AT SEA seemed more appropriate.

It was one of those times where you are sad to say goodbye to everyone after having spent such a long time together getting to know each other but at the same time your happy to be going home and getting back to your other life.

I bussed from Invercargill to Dunedin and flew back to Auckland from there.
